Abstract
A series of Bi0.5-xErxNa0.4K0.1TiO3 (BNKT-xEr) ceramics were designed and fabricated, the dopant effects on dielectric, piezoelectric and photoluminescence properties were studied. The results show that the piezoelectric property of BNKT can be enhanced by a trace amount of Er dopant, which is also reflected in the large linear electrostrain (Suni = 0.29%, under 55 kV/cm) achieved in BNKT-0.0025 Er. On the other hand, higher Er content can produce excellent dielectric temperature stability, with △ԑ/ԑ150 °C < ±15% over temperature range of 90∼510 °C. Meanwhile, all BNKT-xEr ceramics exhibit good photoluminescence properties, which may open new applications of these multifunctional ceramics.
